Chicken Pudding

Cut up the chicken and stew it a little, after which lay the pieces in a buttered dish with a few bits of butter, a little pepper and salt, and a little of the water in which the chicken was stewed. Make a batter of one quart milk, five eggs, a little salt. Pour this batter over the chicken, and bake half an hour.--Mrs. A. B. Chicken Pudding. 10 eggs beaten very light. 1 quart rich milk. 1/4 pound melted butter. Pepper and salt to the taste.

Stir in enough flour to make a thin, good batter. Put four young chickens, nicely prepared and jointed, in a saucepan, with some salt and water and a bundle of thyme or parsley. Boil till nicely done, then take up the chickens and put in the batter. Put all in a deep dish and bake. Serve with gravy in a boat.--Mrs. Dr. C.
